Oh and finally Lauren was ruined when Olly made her sing Ain't no Mountain High Enough despite her much suiting other genres. The X Factor is so much better in terms of song choices imo, they always pick something that not only suits the act but is current and good enough to fit in the charts. And even on the time period weeks the acts reinvent the songs to fit out modern radio.
The Voice set their acts up for failure by digging up older songs that people don't really listen to anymore and then manage the winner terribly so they achieve next to nothing in a career that could be great and life changing. Acts with bags of potential (Lydia Lucy, Leah McFall to name a few, despite not winners) have just disappeared because the shows aftercare is a disaster.
You look at TXF and yeah they may be slated for not making global superstars (bar the obvious One Direction and Little Mix) they still have managed acts fairly well and they've had some success. Unfortunately the market doesn't need anymore normal people from a small town in England who won a talent contest but a lot have given it a good shot. Louisa Johnson is doing okay albeit slowly but it's understandable for her age as she needs to find her sound and place in the market, Matt Terry had moderate success and keeps up appearances every now and then but isn't a Household name, James Arthur is one of the bigger names to come from the show, this list can continue.
